[QUOTE="Joseph Bautsch, post: 26574, member: 654"] My opinion, an this is my opinion, is different from the others. Yes you do have the HDR effect here and it's a lot closer to what I think an HDR should be. To me a good HDR is a normal photograph with a lot of detail in the shadows and highlights. In your photo you can see it in the details of the tree leaves, branches and in the grass. You can also see it in the hallo effect between the tree and the clear blue sky. This hallo often happens with skies like this when there is not enough contrast for the program to make a proper merger. Your photo is on the lighter side of HDR and not over cooked, over saturated, and contrasty like a great many of the HDR shots you see here. I use a one stop three shot bracket on my D90. With this setting I can get the merged photo I am looking for, a normal exposure with great detail. I do agree with AxeMan, get the Photomatix HDR program. I use it as a plugin with Aperture3 and it works great. [/QUOTE]
